Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Friday (March 6) that several countries had launched mediation efforts amid regional tensions, stressing that Iran remains committed to lasting peace while firmly defending its national dignity and sovereignty.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Pezeshkian said mediation efforts should focus on those who “underestimated the Iranian people and fueled this conflict.”
He said Iran was seeking stability in the region but would “without hesitation” protect its sovereignty if necessary.
The comments come as diplomatic efforts are reportedly intensifying in response to rising regional tensions, with many sides exploring possible avenues for de-escalation.
This is a developing story.
